Summary/Abstract: Administrative and civil law actions preceding a religious marriage with civil legal effectsseem to be regulated in great detail by the valid legislation and analysed quite well in thedoctrine. However, a more thorough analysis shows that regarding a concordat marriageper procura, significant questions may arise concerning the parties participating in theproceedings, i.e. the obligations of the future spouses, a proxy, the registrar and the priest.There are also some questions regarding the jurisdiction of the court which conducts theproceedings for granting permission to marry by proxy.This article attempts to address these issues by analysing the valid regulations of thePolish Family and Guardianship Code, Code of Civil Proceedings, Civil Registry RecordsAct and the internal laws of the Catholic Church.
